The city of Dunkirk has been recently awarded the 2018 Best Western New York Hot Spot by Lake Erie Living Magazine’s Best of Lake Erie in 2018 edition.

“This is a great honor and an exciting time for Dunkirk,”Mayor Wilfred Rosas started at the Common Council meeting held on Tuesday night. “Thousands of people read Lake Erie Living Magazine and we are excited to be recognized as a Western New York hot spot along Lake Erie. This type of positive publicity helps draw in new visitors and tourists to our area and helps improve our economy. I look forward to the future development of our city and making it an even more exciting place to visit, live, work and play.”

Rosas went on to thank all of the Development Department for their hard work which helped the city achieve the illustrious award. However he gave special mention to Hector Rosas, the special events coordinator, who in Rosas’ words, has “been working diligently since I’ve been in office, and we’ve received numerous awards.”

We are proud to have heard Mayor Rosas during the Common Council Meeting announce that the very popular Quad-State magazine (Lake Erie Living) has recognized Dunkirk Festivals & Special Events and awarded the City Of Dunkirk with the title of “Best New Hot Spot” on Lake Erie! This is another humbling moment for our Special Events Team here in the Planning & Development Dept Of Dunkirk, NY. To be recognized not only locally, in WNY and across NY State but regionally throughout the Quad-State area is a testament to our hard work that goes into the Planning and Marketing efforts of our many Dunkirk Festivals & Special Events! In February 2019, the CBS SPORTS Television Network will present Dunkirk’s GREAT LAKES OFFSHORE GRAND PRIX and take us (Dunkirk) Nationally and Internationally across the globe! New territory for the City of Dunkirk under the leadership of Mayor Wilfred Rosas! We are very GRATEFUL to all of our Sponsors and all of YOU….our many fans and supporters who attend our Dunkirk Festivals & Special Events throughout the year! Without your support we could not achieve these goals. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019!!!

I am grateful always to our men and women who have served this country. But on this day, I personally give homage and appreciation to all of our Veterans. To each of those who have served, as well as those military personnel who are serving today, thank you for your service to our country!

Veterans Day is a day set aside for each of us to remember the many men and women who have fought to keep us and our country free from tyranny and a dictatorship. This is a day in which we celebrate the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans.

To all veterans everywhere, and especially to those living in the City of Dunkirk, thank you.
